1356951	2013-10-24 04:22:00	Is it just me or is anyone else reluctant to click on a link given by a first-time poster to an unknown website?	FoxyMX (5)
1356952	2013-10-24 04:50:00	It's a link to hitman pro. Call me risky,I clicked it.	plod (107)

1356954	2013-10-24 06:20:00	Looks like a push for the website to me Nothing wrong with Hitman Pro but there is other options to go with when the variations hit	Lawrence (2987)

I would like to hear more from Gaby. :) I thought "PCWorld - New Zealand - F1" forum is a right place for the article about NZ targeted malware. They also have investigation about the origins of the Police ransomware - Reveton trojan family (not going to post the link, cause you'll definitely ban me then), and it might be interesting for kiwis. Sorry if it looks like automated spam.	gaby (17175)

She wanted me to press the windows key beside ctrl key and then something else. If I didn't my computer would crash. Well, I passed phone to cousin, his computer also on my internet connection, he listened for a few seconds then hung up on her. Has anyone else been called? she rang at 8pm tonight Friday. Do I believe her story or what? Thks Marg	MMM (5660)

Do I believe her story or what? Thks Marg Its all a total scam - just ignore them, your cousin did the right thing. Had one call yesterday, the caller ID phone number was 012345678 Ya think ? AND they didn't even leave a message, maybe the answer message saying they have rung a Computer Company may have put them off ;)	wainuitech (129)

I think I might get that caller ID thingy put on my phone too. Cheers - Marg	MMM (5660)

The guy was in his computer when he rang lol (he was using a program called Ammyy). I told him to turn it off. So he did. After I told him it was a scam, this guy rang him back 10 mins later. And kept trying to convince my uncle he was legit. I was in his computer (when the guy rang back). When my uncle said someone was checking the computer out, the guy hung up.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
